Chicken breast in aromatic crust. The recipe is inspired from here and it is my first tasty version of baked breaded chicken. They have a double advantage: fewer calories because they are baked and they are gluten-free. Yes, yes, they are not dry, do not worry! I bet that was your first thought 😉

Ingredients

1 boneless chicken breast
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
salt
a little oil

Crust

25g almond flour (or almonds finely ground in a coffee grinder)
25g hulled hemp seeds
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/2 teaspoon dehydrated onion flakes, ground
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary leaves (or a few sage leaves; or dried oregano; or Tuscan herb mix)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt

Servings: 2-3

How to prepare baked chicken fingers

Cut the chicken breast into strips as thick as your thumb. If the strips are super thin, they will dry out in the oven.
In a bowl, beat the egg well with the milk and salt.
In another bowl, mix the crust ingredients.
Dip the chicken strips in the egg and shake a little to drain the excess.
Coat the strips in the crust mixture.
Arrange them with space between each one on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Drizzle each strip with a little oil (if you have it, you can use oil spray, it is more convenient).
Bake at 200°C for 20-25 minutes (until nicely browned). Turn them halfway through the baking time.
* I used the extra-browning program: heat from top + bottom which also activates the grill occasionally; if you do not have such a program and after the time I indicated the fingers are not browned and crispy enough but the inside is done (check a piece to make sure it is not pink in the center but still juicy), you can turn on the oven grill for a few minutes.
Serve the chicken fingers warm with Sriracha sauce (or Sriracha mixed with a little mayonnaise). After they cool and sit for a while, the fingers remain soft and juicy, but the crust softens.
